Hermes main Symbol was his Winged sandals. He used them to fly around so he can deliver messages faster and just get around where he needed to. The sandals also represent speed.
One of Hermes' other jobs was to look out for athletes who needed his help. Many athletes would sacrifice to Hermes before athletic events.
Another one of Hermes' jobs was to escort souls into the afterlife. This was his job because he is 1 of 5 gods that can go into the underworld without dieing. An example of when this happened is at the end of the Odyssey when he took the souls of the suitors from Odysseus' home into the underworld.
Hermes was also known as the patron of shepherds. He had the power to multiply herds. Iloneus was a Trojan which Hermes liked so Hermes multiplied his flocks.
Hermes was also known as the trickster god. He is sometimes called the god of thieves and he teaches people how to deceive. He had taught Pandora how to deceive because Zeus told him to.

10. When Hermes was a baby he made a magical lyre out of cow intestines and a turtle shell. He was able to play it and enchant people. He used this in Apollo when Hermes stole his cattle. Blake Stetson's Hermes Dramatic writing
I made the top 10 list blue because blue is the color of the sky and Hermes was the messenger god and used his sandals and hat to fly around.
I made the Glitter text orange because one of Hermes' jobs is to take souls into the underworld and he is 1 of 5 gods that can make it into the underworld without dying.
The first part of the music reminds me of being in a car on a long road trip and Hermes is the messenger god so he must travel a lot. The second part of the music reminds me that Hermes has to go into the underworld and this part is the same as the last part. The third part of the music sonds like Egyptian music which makes me think of long journeys through the desert and Hermes travels a lot.
